Kalinkou, activist of Uladzimir Niakliayeu’s campaign team, was not let into
the students’ hostel of Hrodna
Medical College.
The activist appealed the violation at Hrodna Leninskaya election commission.

In its
official reply, the commission chair Mr. Mikhno says that the College
administration did not violate the electoral legislation, since they were
guided by inner regulations, instead of the Electoral Code provisions.

Aleh
Kalinkou, in turn, believes that by doing that the administration restricted
the right to freely canvass for signatures.

Meanwhile, independent
observers stress that similar bans are only experienced by members of pro-dem
campaign teams.
